New School Year! 2009-2010

Hey new 6th, 7th, & 8th Graders!
I can't wait for the new 2008-2009 school year to begin! I have so much I want you to learn on the computers here at SCMS!

6th Grade: You will be learning how to use the basic functions of a computer. With major emphasis on keyboarding and learning how to key correctly.

7th Grade: You will be developing more of your keyboarding skills and learning more about Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel!

8th Grade: Multimedia class is a broad category and I am hoping to build on the skills you have already learned, while incorporating digital cameras, videos, podcasts, vodcasts and other technologies available today!

Good Luck this year and Let's Get Learning!
